+# Code of Conduct
+
+`nvm`, as a member project of the OpenJS Foundation, uses [Contributor Covenant v1.4](https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/1/4/code-of-conduct) as their code of conduct. The full text is included [below](#contributor-covenant-code-of-conduct) in English, and translations are available from the Contributor Covenant organisation:
+
+- [contributor-covenant.org/translations](https://www.contributor-covenant.org/translations)
+- [github.com/ContributorCovenant](https://github.com/ContributorCovenant/contributor_covenant/tree/release/content/version/1/4)
+
+Refer to the sections on reporting and escalation in this document for the specific emails that can be used to report and escalate issues.
+
+## Reporting
+
+### Project Spaces
+
+For reporting issues in spaces related to `nvm` please use the email `ljharb@gmail.com`. `nvm` handles CoC issues related to the spaces that it maintains. Projects maintainers commit to:
+
+- maintain the confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident
+- to participate in the path for escalation as outlined in
+  the section on Escalation when required.
+
+### Foundation Spaces
+
+For reporting issues in spaces managed by the OpenJS Foundation, for example, repositories within the OpenJS organization, use the email `report@lists.openjsf.org`. The Cross Project Council (CPC) is responsible for managing these reports and commits to:
+
+- maintain the confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident
+- to participate in the path for escalation as outlined in
+  the section on Escalation when required.
+
+## Escalation
+
+The OpenJS Foundation maintains a Code of Conduct Panel (CoCP). This is a foundation-wide team established to manage escalation when a reporter believes that a report to a member project or the CPC has not been properly handled. In order to escalate to the CoCP send an email to `coc-escalation@lists.openjsf.org`.

+For more information, refer to the full [Code of Conduct governance document](https://github.com/openjs-foundation/cross-project-council/blob/master/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).

+## Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
+
+### Our Pledge
+
+In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as
+contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our project and
+our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
+size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of experience,
+nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and
+orientation.
+
+### Our Standards
+
+Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment include:
+
+* Using welcoming and inclusive language
+* Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
+* Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
+* Focusing on what is best for the community
+* Showing empathy towards other community members
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
+
+* The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or advances
+* Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+* Public or private harassment
+* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic address, without explicit permission
+* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting
+
+### Our Responsibilities
+
+Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable
+behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in
+response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.
+
+Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or
+reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions
+that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or
+permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate,
+threatening, offensive, or harmful.
+
+### Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces
+when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of
+representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail
+address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
+representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a project may be
+further defined and clarified by project maintainers.
+
+### Enforcement
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
+reported by contacting the project team at the email addresses listed above in
+the [Reporting](#reporting) and [Escalation](#escalation) sections. All
+complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that
+is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The project team is
+obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an
+incident. Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted
+separately.
+
+Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good
+faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other
+members of the project's leadership.
